Hi guys, just a small yet disturbing question, are we gonna be in the cap for October applicants? it looks CIC has already 3480 received while they are processing applications from 22 July. anybody cares to share some thoughts on this?
Initially CIC was accepting 12000 applications between NOV 9 2013 to 31 OCT 2014....However, this has been changed now.
The cap has been reduced to 8000 applications and extended the time to 31Dec2014. Remember, this is the last chance you have to apply under CEC before express entry launches in Jan 2015.
Also, processing of applications has nothing to do with received applications. CEC takes a year to process a file.
If you submit you file now, CIC will check the Cap...if they have the cap, you will get the AOR. Once you get AOR, it means you fall under the Cap. Then after that they will take approx 1 year to process the file.
